Why Is My Body Like This? Sleep, Food, and Your Nervous System as a Neurodivergent Young Person
About Course
When your nervous system works differently, the so-called basics – sleeping, eating, knowing when you are hungry or tired – can be genuinely hard in ways most people around you will never see. This course, written directly for you, explains what is actually going on inside your body: why your brain does what it does around sleep and food, what interoception is and why yours might be turned up too high or barely there at all, and what small, real things you can do to feel more okay in your body. No pressure, no perfectionism – just honest information and practical tools that respect how your brain actually works.
